Levitating

About This Movie

Levitating is a fascinating dive into the intersection of spirituality and desperation. Set in a town where the boundaries of pleasure and possession blur, it paints a vivid picture of Bayu's quest to become a shaman at a trance party. The film has this hypnotic atmosphere, with a pacing that mirrors the ebb and flow of the party itself. Wregas Bhanuteja's direction pulls you in, creating layers of tension as Bayu grapples with his motivations. The practical effects used during the trance sequences really stand out, enhancing that surreal quality. Performances are raw and compelling, especially the lead, who embodies that conflict between ambition and survival. It’s distinct in its exploration of cultural themes through such a unique lens.
